So I just signed up on a Muslim extremist board...

I just get worried that they data mine through key words. Then, couple that with the fact that they probably have unrestricted access to tap into our
incoming and outgoing connections, plus access to IP addresses and names.

Sublime620, here are some other threads I started along the same line of thinking you're talking about to an extent within this thread. I thought
I'd share them with you and the rest of the posters here.

I don't know much about the NSA but I gleaned from the fact that their network of Signals Intel is worldwide. Their Cray supercomputers filter so
much data a day it would probably blow your mind. I'm guessing they just have the Crays to hit off of certain keywords. Keywords which are mentioned
countless times per day. It generates a report. Reports go to analysts. They probably throw a good portion away. Maybe get some gold who knows. I
think you being put on a watchlist is a low probability. Even if you were on a watch list, its not a hit list, they'd probably delete you to make
room for other people once they figure out your not up to anything bad. Somebody said they have bigger fish to fry and I agree.

900K people on a watch list isn't that bad out of a world of 6 billion. I think it's a good thing to do, nothing wrong with learning what the other
side thinks. I don't think there is anything, anything wrong with going to a website, any website, to learn.
